Like for all the HER2 sisters, it's a loss of a man I've never met and known personally, but always felt close and connected to. He has touched so many lives with the way he was. The very first time I posted on this site, Joe emailed me right away asking where we are receving treatment. He wanted to talk to Roche representatives about programs to finance my mom's treatment. Mom's Drs here also talked to Roche and we eventually ended up receiving 4 Herceptin infusions free of charge.

I've always reminded myself of Joe's signature "Advocacy is a passion". Joe is a person I want to be like. He will be sorely missed!

Sending warm hugs and prayers to Christine and all the family.


P.S. I curse this damn disease!
